A patient suffering from back spasms has an order for continued heat therapy at home and indicates to a nurse that he will use his heating pad. The nurse correctly advises the patient to
 
  1. Never use any setting above medium.
  2. Use the highest setting for maximum comfort.
  3. Apply heat for 1 hour every 3 hours.
  4. Not use heat because cold therapy is more effective at stopping spasms.

Question 2

A nurse is satisfied that the mother of a 2-year-old with a history of febrile seizures understands how to effectively decrease body temperature when the mother states:
 
  1. I will put my child in a lukewarm bath, making sure the temperature of the water is somewhere between 105F and 110F.
  2. When his temperature reaches 10B.5F, I will carefully place ice bags in the armpits and groin.
  3. If his fever spikes, I will bring him to the emergency department because he will most likely need to be lavaged with cold water.
  4. If I put ice bags around his body, his temperature will not get high enough to cause seizures.
